We collected our ex-batts yesterday and they have very long nails. We are wondering how far down to trim them and also whats the best thing to use? Any suggestions appreciated

we use some special bird clippers from a large pet shop, for parrots, but work ok on chucks
they have a vein inside the nail, just like dogs etc, so dont cut too much off, just trim a bit off the end of the nail to make it a bit easier for them.
now ours are outside free ranging they dont need to be done
